RELATIONSHIPS

How Is Your Heart? by Charles Bukowski This poem relates to the realtionships theme because the relationship that Charles has is with himself in this poem, describing a realtionship between himself and his feelings what he experiences and goes through. He also is very descriptive of others around him and their relationships, he is very aware of the society and people and things going on around him. To a Stranger by Walt Whitman This poem by Walt Whitman to a stranger, which is the most relatable poem to the theme because he is talking about someone else which describes him as a very observant person especially in the line where he says " You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me, as of a dream,)" you can tell he looks at him or her and automatically starts a relationship with that person even if that person knows he does not exist. Its a ghostly relationship between the two. Relationships are one of the most important keys in life, without any relationship in life you have no experience at all. Relationships with your parents, siblings, friends, boyfriends/gilrfriends, teachers, coaches or anyone at all are very important. Relationships are also very hard to maintain, they can get very emotinal and very complicated. Then there are those simple business relationships you have where are strictly business not social or included with any emotions. I love my relationship with my family and friends because they have a huge impact on my life, but some relationships with your friends can be temporary, whereas with your parents you know it will last a long loving time. My tattoo for example "La Familia" is related to family because they are alwats by your side through thick and thin and you can count on them always, in relationships family is first!
